Three cheers for Michael Moore for standing in front of the Hollywood big shots (who hypocritically gave him a standing ovation then nearly booed him off stage) and proclaiming with conviction: “We live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in […]

No More Spam

I’ve finally had enough with spam. I’ve spent the past couple hours updating all my contacts and Web services to my new primary email address — and it’s a hell of a lot of work. (If you’re in my address book, you should have received an email from me; if you didn’t, please let me […]

If You Cannot Find Osama…

“If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq! If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq!” See this and other catchy tunes here: Political Toons! It’s a good way to relieve all this war tension if you’re looking for a laugh. Lots of funny Flash cartoons. (Thanks for the link, Dave.)

Victory for the Little Guy

Sadly, it is not often that The Man is issued a blow that will effect change. Typically, big corporations and insurance companies have their way with individuals like you and me. From time to time, though, judges or juries who understand that they have the power to make a difference in this corrupt world will […]

History Lesson: What Hitler’s Men Knew
Thursday, March 20th, 2003 · 4 Comments
Keep this quote in mind as we launch the 2nd strike against Iraq in response to oil wells being torched: “Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, […]

So Damn Saddam or Not?
Thursday, March 20th, 2003 · 1 Comment
As I wrote last night, I have doubts that the man on Iraqi TV was actually Saddam himself. He looked pretty fake-ass to me. Or maybe he’s just a hell of a lot paler since his country is under attack. I would certainly be scared shitless if I were being bombed by the military might […]

Act for Change

Now that the war is underway, what can you do? Plenty. You could block traffic in San Francisco, which I actually don’t recommend since it’s not cool to prevent people who need to get to work from doing so. But how about this? Or this: Send a message to Bush urging him not to nuke […]

This Monetary War
Wednesday, March 19th, 2003 · Comments Off on This Monetary War
Despite forged Iraq documents (thanks, Dave, for the link) and failed diplomacy, our monetarily-driven war has begun (imminent threat my ass). Want proof? How about this? “The core driver for toppling Saddam is actually the euro currency,” according to W. Clark of the Independent Media Center. Here’s his research, something the popular media and Bush […]

It Has Begun
Wednesday, March 19th, 2003 · Comments Off on It Has Begun
The first strike on Iraq occurred this evening. Let’s hope for minimal civilian casualties. Saddam Hussein — or an impersonator — appeared on Iraqi TV not long ago. CNN was caught up on how it must have really been Saddam since he mentioned the date in Iraq: March 20, 2003. But he knew that was […]
